Raffles Cafe

played iggy azalea during meal. almost threw up thrice. I cannot believe that they would play one of her songs even after I told the front desk I was allergic to shitty music

The food here is really good, first time staying at Mandalay bay we had breakfast here I had the chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy it was fantastic and big portions definitely shareable! Can’t wait to go back!

Overpriced and slow. If you make any additions, be sure to ask just how much that will cost. (They won’t know but they will give you a check for a $ 30 omelet!) Coffee is average.

This is strictly for one dish: The chicken fingers! ($ 12). The waffle fries are ($ 6) I recommend to take a pass on a soda because they are $ 5
A couple years back at the beach areas I had the MBAY chicken fingers on a Fluke of just hunger and what was available… Which are the best ever! And I don’t ever order chicken fingers…
Just come and order the chicken fingers with bbq sauce and then order a side of the waffle sweet potato fries.
Service: I admit that this restaurant in general can be hit or miss. The last time was solid and we were in a rush which the service team totally respected our time limit.
This is the MBAY coffee shop but one caveat is that they change the hours often depending on the time of year/​business… This time of year they closed at 2pm
This last time I even took a picky teenager and she said the chicken fingers actually were the best… she also loves waffle fries which were ok but better the last time I had them the year before.

Came here for breakfast a few times. Every time has been just OK, nothing great. Overpriced, that’s for sure. Easily $ 20 without beverage for some eggs and bacon/​sausage with toast. I don’t mind spending on good food, but eggs and toast is just eggs and toast anyway you make it. I wouldn’t recommend, unless you just want the convenience of grabbing some pretty basic breakfasts right downstairs by the elevator.

Nothing extraordinary or terrible about this place. It provided a good venue for brunch, and their scramble wasn’t too bad. What was strange to me is that we waited in line for the hostess right outside the casino for 20 minutes, but when we got into the restaurant (which was huge by the way), it was only 20% full. Empty tables for daaays.
Made me a little mad.

Mandalay bay is a joke. This hotel is a dump full of hookers! And this restaurant is no exception. If you like Denny’s and are willing to pay $ 20 for your breakfast then this is the spot for you. The servers are toothless and low class. Their food is average at best. Nothing special. I would avoid everything inclusive of this hotel. I would go to Wynn all day long over Raffles and you will get a far support breakfast for the same price!
Sorry file this review under the truth hurts!

Best eggs benedict ever! I consider myself somewhat of an eggs benny expert since it’s my favorite thing to have for breakfast and that’s mostly what I get when I go to restaurants for breakfast. Their hollandaise sauce is incredibly creamy and that’s what makes the dish! The portions are a good size and the price is right.
Friendly servers. Don’t remember his name but the gentleman we got was very attentive but not overbearing so it made for an enjoyable meal. Not very busy at all on a Tuesday morning. The atmosphere is really pleasant and the whole restaurant looks really upscale.
All in all, can’t wait to visit again when we are in Vegas for breakfast!

I ordered an omelet with spinach, ham and mushrooms. It comes with a side of hash browns and as many pieces of toast as you’d like. It was a ton of food and super yummy! The view was pretty great, too.

Our room wasn’t quite ready so we decided to have breakfast here. I’ve eaten here many times and if you’re just looking for a decent breakfast or lunch with a fair amount of variety, then Raffles is a good choice.
Hubby had waffles which comes with 3 mini waffles. I had bacon and eggs (I know, I know it’s so boring, but that’s what I wanted) and our friend had corned beef hash. The hash is advertised as being homemade and was a very generous serving. All in all, it hit the spot.
However, I will say that there was a service issue. I did not get the pancakes or cappuccino that I ordered. I personally don’t think it’s my responsibility to remind a server of what I ordered (although if it’s something I really want, then I will) — rather I think he/​she should check the food against the order to make sure he/​she has everything when she brings the food to table OR ask if we have everything. Clearly neither occurred.
Yes the prices are not cheap. But this is Vegas where everything is more expensive, even coffee at Starbucks. So if you’re gonna complain about how pricey this place is, you should consider going to one of the other casinos where you can eat at the food court.
Another comment or request I would make is: please put up some signage (like many of the other MGM «cafes» have) to distinguish the line for M Life Platinum and Noir cardholders. I hate going to the front of the line and looking like I’m cutting and then have a woman in line who thinks I’m cutting tap me on the shoulder where we engaged in the following conversation:
Her: excuse me, are you trying to get seated?
Me: yes.
Her: this is the line here (pointing to herself and the long line of people)
Me: I have a platinum card
Her: does that mean you don’t have to stand in this line?
Me: yes
(at which point hostess proceeds to seat our party)
My friend said he thought they used to have a seperate line so maybe they just didn’t put it up today. Either way, please put something up so we can avoid those awkward moments like the one described above. Thank you!

Solid breakfast spot when you don’t want a buffet.
We ordered some good Bloody Mary’s, a delicious waffle and berries plate, and the Raffle’s breakfast with two eggs, bacon, giant hash brown and two pieces of sour dough bread (at $ 15 it’s great value).
Everything tasted great and the service was super friendly and quick.

To be honest! Not worth the price
I eat here frequently & I have never been wowed. Yes I expected to be wowed for a 15 dollar omelette
For the price, I would just go to Denny’s. Or what till lunch & go to Citizens if you are in mandalay bay casino

Came here for a weekend breakfast with a group of friends a couple times. Decent breakfast/​brunch/​lunch spot in Mandalay Bay.
Most recently, we got there at opening and were seated immediately. The inside is really spacious like most places on the strip, so it accommodates groups well. Our service was ok. It started off a little rocky, but then got better over the course of the meal. We stayed for a while, so we did appreciate the service continually checking on us throughout. I did notice on my way to the bathroom (which was surprisingly small for a place this size) that there seemed to be quite a line forming outside, which was a little odd to me because it seemed like there was a fair amount of tables open inside. Maybe it was one large group wanting a table, so who knows.
The food was decent, nothing too fancy. A little pricey but the portions were generous.
Overall, decent breakfast/​brunch/​lunch (served all day) spot in Mandalay Bay.

Beer selection is poor and they were out of the only two beers I wanted to try. The food arrived and it was the worse pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. There was so much bbq sauce that you could not actually taste the meat. The excess sauce quickly soaked the bun, turning it into a soggy mess. The bun quickly fell apart leaving a pile of mushy bun and pulled pork on my plate.
The service was poor overall and the waitress went very long periods without checking on the table. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are much better options.

So raffles is located in Mandalay bay it’s really good for breakfast quick friendly service and tasty food with generous portions. I think the raffles breakfast is $ 15 two eggs, hash browns, toast and choice of sausage or bacon. Delicious orange just plenty of refills on coffee too. You get seated pretty quickly too

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… I LOVE diners. It is almost impossible for me not to love them. I know when I go there that I’m NOT «fine-​dining» and therefore, not expecting anything other than casual, diner-​quality food. This type of place definitely has it’s place in this world and it’s a perfect breakfast/​lunch choice while hanging out at the Mandalay Bay. I was able to eat healthy (see pic), have a diet coke and veg-​out…
My only complaint is that the hours have recently changed – Raffles is no longer the 24 hour go-​to place. It’s only open from 7am to 2ish… so it’s breakfast or lunch only. No more 2:30am post-​drinking and dancing chicken strips/​fries binge??? I’m so sad… the end of an era…

So I like to come here when I come to Vegas I was introduced to the restaurant several years ago a little more on the pricey side but its not buffet and it is all around a pretty good restaurant the service was absolutely great

Huevos Rancheros con Chorizo
Eggs, Tortillas, Ground Beef, Chopped Onions, Chopped Tomatoes and Salsa, smothered in Melted Cheddar and White American Cheeses and, topped with a Dollop of Guacamole and Drizzled with Sour Cream. Served with a Grilled Jalapeño and Chorizo Sausage — $ 14.00
For those of you who may have stayed at or visited Mandalay Bay, Raffles is worth a visit. This is the perfect place if you’re looking to grab a quick bite, or are looking for something filling. The Juevos Rancheros above? They were absolutely fantastic. As it looks a bit like a heart-​attack on a plate, it eats very hearty and will fill you up quickly.
The atmosphere is simple. They offer diners a casual experience with a wide variety of menu choices. The tropical décor is accented by views of Mandalay Bay’s beach area.

I ended up eating here twice.
1^st visit:
When I first got here I was seated very quickly so that was a plus. Then when I got to my table that’s when the wait started. I waited there for at least 15 minutes before I was asked if I wanted a drink. Normally this would really annoy me and it did at first then I observed this waitress carrying several trays with an impressive amount of food on them. She was running around everywhere. And the hostess who sat me was running her here and running here there. That’s when I realized she was the only one working. She really was doing her best and she was working her ass off. When she finally came to me she apologized and was so sweet. She was stressed but she never took that out on anyone. She took my drink order and bought that out right away. I was going to order the lobster omelet but the waitress asked me if she could recommend the Lobster Benedict. I wasn’t sure cause I never had Eggs Benedict before so I did not know what to expect really. Well it turned out to be really good! I really enjoyed it and it had a generous amount of lobster on it. The service was great and my waitress checked up on me often. I also enjoyed the food so 5 stars here.
2^nd visit:
I was looking for a nice meal on my last day. I remembered the food and service of this place so I came on back again. This time I was waited on very quickly and I ordered a traditional 2 egg breakfast and it was very good. My service was good as well. It was not the same server but he was also very attentive and my food and drink came quickly. I enjoyed this experience as well.
The prices here are typical Vegas prices, inflated of course, but for Vegas normal. The serve breakfast and lunch and they offer traditional café type foods. I personally think their breakfast menu is better than their lunch menu as far as what they offer but that is just me. When I find myself staying at Mandalay Bay again I will definitely be back.

Specialty Bloody Mary. That is it. It comes with a mini cheeseburger, fries, chicken finger, pickle and a few other things… Hangover cure in a glass. No — these things are not floating in the drink; they are on a skewer on top.
I have been coming to Raffles for years. Mandalay /​Delano /​Four Seasons are my favorite places to stay. It used to be open 24 hrs, but now is open only for breakfast and lunch. Food is reasonable and reasonably priced. Service is good. If you don;t have the appetite for a buffet or the stomach for tourists with fanny packs trying to «get their money’s worth,» I would recommend it for a quick and simply breakfast or lunch. If you are trying for something a bit more fancy, there are several other options in the hotel to choose from.
